we start in egypt where the standoff between mohammed morsi and the opposition has caused new outbreaks of violence supporters of the country's leader have reportedly clashed with his opponents near the presidential palace where both parties are planned demonstrations the muslim brotherhood is running morsy supporters in response to an opposition march which attracted tens of thousands on tuesday night . in the streets outside the presidential palace it's become a battleground between pro and anti mohammed morsi protesters we were there last night an enormous crowd made up of the more liberal elements that the opposition elements in society gathered to demand that varying things in between him leaving his office completely or at the very least rescinding those extra powers that he gave himself over a week ago that caused this whole feel or in the first place the police fired

a few rounds of tear gas but once the crowd set about wrenching aside the barbed wire barricades the police really fell back and didn't do very much to stop them and they swarmed around the palace search chanting there also seemed to be some pain to case and the police and security forces were going quite lightly on the protesters a few people went so far as to suggest perhaps that they were happy hops a little sympathetic to the protesters but one soldier for example stood on top of his armored vehicle and raised the egyptian flag from inside the compound which garnered a huge cheer from the crowd however today those things do seem to have turned nasty initial reports have now been an escalating of fighting between the bit with sticks between the muslim brotherhood and pro morsi supporters on one side and those on the other side. anti morsy also

a hail of stones flying outside the presidential palace a very tense situation there people already having been wounded. the longer the deadlock between president and opposition in egypt goes on the greater the danger things could spiral out of control that is no where you think the standoff might actually lead by taking part in our poll dot com here's how the vote looks so far a third of those who have had their say believe the egyptian leader will cancel his new korean order to stay in office just over a quarter think the new wave of anti-government protests will result in further instability leading to a libya style war slightly less say the current situation will lead to the military and next president mubarak's clique coming back to power and we can also see that less than fifteen percent are convinced morsi is resignation and new elections are inevitable let us know what you think it r.t. dot com. britain is facing at least five more years of

a sturdy the country's finance minister says there's no miracle cure for the country's economy the highly anticipated autumn statement by george osborne brought little relief for a public already angered by government cuts are the sort of first reports from london. well everyone now madly picking their way through the the facts and figures and wow was there a lot of. one thing it was very very clear and that's that the u.k. is set to face even more austerity you know what those figures showed us was that the u.k. economy is going to shrink by nor point one percent by his twenty twelve now it sounds like a small amount but of course no sign of that all important in fact what we see is that borrowing has sort of saying that the debt has risen and fallen and most crucially i think is probably the fact is the government have missed the reduction target so we're now facing an extended austerity program is going to take us right away three twenty eighteen safe pretty gloomy outlook and look this is what we were

expecting but of course that's going to really not be what millions of families all across the again to one thing here and of course this is really going to affect them and real turns now to speak to us more about this autumn statement by the chancellor today i'm joined by a labor m.p. and the public i say public health minister thank you for joining us so the british economy is slowly healing according to chancellor george osborne what was your reaction to that well i thought that was a very silly statement the truth is every prophecy every target. he has he has not met his targets he is not going to deal with the deficit as he said the road growth we grow and also there's going to be a huge cart made in benefits pavement to some of the poorest people in the conclave

are going to suffer the most i was resolved to go. and there's no end to this will start now i want to talk to you about that because we saw that just one percent for the benefit of the welfare bill and that's less than inflation you know that's really going to hit a huge. number of books forty seven billion pounds. and we're talking about farmers is a really on the bread line anyway even losing ten twenty pounds is a big hit i mean it's a very cold outside and it's a very cold prospect for britain's poor because they are going to bear the brunt of the start of course by christmas by also doesn't know what he's doing thank you very much for joining us also say there's a lot of course the concern as he said them on picking through the thing is one thing cutting through all the waste and that's the case is going to have to pray so even talk. even more. well that with more from the u.k.

ahead for you with a look at how london's mayor voiced what many brits have been thinking boris johnson urge the government to hold a referendum on membership in the last one simple question do you want in. class china's rulers are planning an image revamp amid growing criticism of the government's extravagant lifestyle. the story still to come this hour but first the u.s. is preparing to send patriot missiles to turkey after nato approved the plan to defend itself against potential missile attacks from inside syria and america is also pressurizing iraq to search syria planes for weapons even demanding it grounds passing jets but baghdad isn't enthusiastic about this is important reports. as the syrian government struggles to stay in power fighting against rebels backed by the west america is also attempting to suffocate the alleged weapons flying into damascus washington accuses iran of being the key arms supplier to assad forces and

to stop the transfer the u.s. is now reportedly demanding that baghdad inspect planes flying from iran over its airspace into syria and the american government for sure. any other country this is just more. amazing thing. saying that they can control flights over countries in force. forcing everybody. by doing so the u.s. has created something of a paradox forcing iraq to prevent iran from dealing with syria by bringing up this issue of so-called weapons applauds it's just another way to pressure the baghdad regime united states feel that it's not invested blood and treasure in terms of overthrowing saddam hussein that it has the right if not the obligation to move in order the internal affairs of the baghdad regime obviously. objects to this kind of

approach and i daresay that the iraqi people object to that approach as well under u.s. officials have complained that baghdad is not doing enough to cooperate with washington's demands since september iraq has only managed to allegedly inspect two iranian planes baghdad does not have an air force and grounding planes is proving too costly as they must be refueled after each check recently iraq made it clear that it is not willing to march to the beat of america's drum in an interview with the new york times iraq's minister of transportation said quote we are an independent country and our stance is clear we will search whichever plane. we want whenever we want we will not take orders i think they're expecting one else to take our most countries doing. sanctions on the american government so.

the iraq don't feel the same water. nearly one decade after saddam hussein was ousted by the u.s. led invasion into iraq washington is pressuring a new cover of the very same country to help move the leader of a different as america continue supporting syria's opposition in part by police in iran iraq for so it's a march in lockstep with orders has created something of a middle east lying all the white house may not be able to navigate. not artsy. turkish troops and helicopters of poland of the kurdish area near the border with syria killing thirteen suspected militants the crisis in syria is being seen as a chance for kurdish aspirations for independence and statehood and whether the turks are actually shooting themselves in the foot by supporting the syrian uprising that's a subject up for debate in the laces edition of crosstalk that's coming up later today more news for me after a short break. this

a hollywood producer and an israeli prime minister it's a story that here in tel aviv the authorities don't want to talk about but two israeli americans have put pen to paper it's probably be the best kept secret in the world on center stage as are known multan a hollywood producer and israeli undercover agent who is alleged to have smuggled nuclear triggers from the united states into israel a california engineer which would kill smith says he was recruited by most in the early seventy's smith was later convicted in the united states of running an american front company to her. this story first surface to be i files released at the end of last year and in joseph goldman's tell all book confidential this was a very limited operation in fact when the mccann which is the hebrew acronym for find your over the nablus even though thought it was unaware of its existence and only it was basically created behind the back of this with the purity of data from

earlier this year the f.b.i. released these documents from a seven year investigation which began in one thousand nine hundred five they show how a network of front companies connected to the israeli defense ministry smuggled nuclear triggers out of the united states to israel what's apparent in the documents is that the israeli ministry of defense would place an order for prohibited items with an israeli company called he light trading the light trading is where benjamin netanyahu worked and would meet with richard kelly smith. when he visited israel then they would transfer the order to an organization called milko in california to fulfill the order violating export control act and shipping the traders out of the united states they called it the operation project put into all the allegations are based on smith's testimony and many have been surprised by the detail if you take a look at the documents netanyahu is definitely mentioned in the document and

that's what surprised us because typically. you get two types of sensors of this type of document sometimes a block off an entire page sometimes i just block off a name in this case netanyahu is name is clearly stated in the documents in the documents it is alleged netanyahu asked the hollywood producer not to discuss the matter publicly in a written response to r.t. these weighty foreign ministry denied all education. on the other side of the story aside from the leaked documents washington too is keeping quiet is reading new capabilities of some of the most guarded secrets the u.s. government holds so most secrets some would argue and information it has about he ran but for the foreseeable future the book on israel's nuclear secrets is closed police here on t.v. israel. breaking news now here naughty in egypt there are increasingly violent

clashes between supporters and opponents of mohammed morsi receiving reports of demonstrations from petro bombs near the presidential palace where two rival readies are currently taking place walty tomball is joining me now from there from tell him. from the center current told me is on the phone told there were reports of clashes way on one of the situation like. there are if you could really well enough on a story i saw coming to you last. vision it's because as we arrived just a few minutes ago we saw the television the trucks driving away as fast as i could see the crowd with the camera still on top of that for what i could get away from the columns ammonium canal just a short distance away from the presidential palace mosul cocktails flying through the higher live start and one hundred meters away from me it seems from what i can tell i'm still i hear through my homelessness the muslim brotherhood as

i have swollen hold most the arms the most piece of course is away from the college to keep going through a retreat as it were some of the streets further away from the politics because of the sheer numbers of most of the courses that there are yesterday being an enormous process the ahmed morsi very hard to swallow. the smallest situation referred to earlier today when protests for mama mostly earth that come to see just to find out with them it seems at the moment that they're winning through sheer weight of numbers people around me are chanting hastily smashing up the pavement to try and get whatever a rucksack can sponsor so i can just throw one of our shots no fly has been best on fire. despite his involvement is it any

indication a told in a solution to this deadlock would be in sight. yes i mean the focus on the saudis the fear that all those guys that have stayed in their respective fight to fight the good guys still have come out on the street talking on a reasonable bright bill they want to try and find a compromise out on the site politically. that it depends in the final and the moment focus a little bit of a process like that like to shoot somebody hard to hear voices of ricci's like that but they do still exist. people want to try and find a way out of this the deadlock has really coalesced into two groups really the judges of egypt and the more liberal groups of society on one side and the

minorities. need to our constitution to go ahead to have so many it doesn't look like kind of minority rights women's rights and on the other side mostly his muslim brotherhood from islam much groups who want to go as they say to the constitution or egypt but it's of them saying we want the power peacefully we could go for them from what i can see in front of me a lot like tom thanks a lot thanks for the live update there from central cairo. all correspondent tom barton that no doubt more from him as we get to hear more developments there in egypt the fiscal cliff of american politics and just what it bodes for all of us that's up next with lower mr with kind of the account from washington i'll be back with more news in just over half an hour.
